    Love the concept! Although found it a bit leading of easy answers once I landed on a word where changing the first letter yielded many new words (i.e. word like 'time' yielded many new *ime words, or plural words if ending in an s). Felt repetitive after a while. Perhaps a Hard mode where the next changed letter must be a different position?

      thanks, the whole thing were prototyped in a day or so. I was thinking about ways to make it more challenging, maybe using 5 letters word, 6... messing with how many edits you get.

      I was going under surgery on the day I released this, cause it was my first time going under general anesthesia and i was freaking out. it was a rush against the time to release as is. now that I'm recovering i'll work on it some more.

      thanks for the feed back

    This sort of thing was a favourite in puzzle books except you had to get to the end word.

    Fun play!

    I soon realized get to a nice word where the first letter can be replaced alot like "buck".

      After the initial prototype, I was playing to see if the game was fun, I realized that from time to time you can get a whole new word by changing one letter. I'm glad you liked it

    LARP wasn't in the dictionary. I feel cheated.

    “bapt” was my starting word.

    I was doomed to fail. “bapt” are you kidding?
